'Turnback Tuesday' features 'Salt Box House' author's words

Turnback Tuesday takes another look at the Salt Box House (photo taken circa 1900.)

This is how author Jane de Forest saw the home that was the inspiration for her book, Salt Box House:

“The old house looks as if it had stood in the path of a tornado. But it only yielded to the pressure of the hand of time weighted with the vagaries of New England’s climate.

"Set on CT's hills with her extremes of heat and cold to try their temper; and the old house, though firm in its foundation and staunch in its up-rearing, after bearing itself bravely for one hundred and thirty years, fell, as an old man falls by the wayside – when the knees give way and the head drops forward – all of a heap!”
